Another visit to the insta care.

Monday night Dallen was petting a cat and a dog started to attack the cat. Dallen got bitten by the cat. For you information cats have sharp teeth and their mouths are full of bacteria. 80% of all cat bites get infected. You need to clean the wound well then be put on antibiotics.

At 8 pm the cat bite Dallen. By 8:30 David had done an Internet search to find that 3 out of 4 websites said you need to get on Antibiotics within 8 hours. I started to take Dallen to the Highland insta care but of course it closed at 8. I remembered that Alpine pediatrics had after hours so David called to tell them we were coming. I made the mistake of Driving by the temple and going over the speed limit. The police officer was not influenced by my crying son and took his time writing the ticket.

The good news was that Alpine peds was not busy and got us right in. The Dr. was very nice and took good care of Dallen. She even got us to the one pharmacy that was open past 9pm.

We started today with Dallens Birthday party. The party started at 9:30 am we went to a kids movie at the cinamark. It is nice to have it over by noon and still have the whole day ahead of us.

Dallen still has cub camp on Thursday. They are shooting bb guns and bow and arrows, so there is still a chance that we could end up in the insta care again.

What a Saturday

It all started out simple enough. Mom and I went to our quilt block of the month class at Just Sew. Then we went home and got ready to leave for Woods Cross and Emily's Baptism. We left in plenty of time and avoided The freeway mess by taking 215. We spent our time getting lost trying to find the stake center and walked in just as the meeting was starting. It was a nice Baptism. The talks we so fast I didn't even have time to get board.

After the Baptism Danny took us to Moochies. This restaurant is a Dive on 8th south 2nd east. They have amazing sandwiches. Philli cheese steak and meatball are there specialty. I walked in and it was a small house converted to a restaurant is was so small that you had to go out the door and eat in the house next door. It reminded me of San Francisco and made me a bit homesick.

Nicole went Home with Danny and Natalie to play games and I took the little kids home and a sandwich for David. I made plans to pick up Nicole from Danny later. Just as I was walking out the door at 7:45 to get Nicole. Dallen comes in crying. He ran over his middle finger on his rip stick. I put Dallen in the car and headed to the highland instacare. It closed at 5pm. I called Danny to find out where the Riverton one was and just my luck it was just a few blocks from him. I figured that with the drive I could figure out if Dallen was really hurt. If he stop ed crying I could pick up Nicole and we could head home. He didn't stop crying during the 30 minute car ride. He didn't stop crying the hour wait. He even shook like he was in shock. 2 and a half hours after the accident and 3 xrays later we found it wasn't broken and he ended up with a splint. I am glad I took him because of his anxiety I think he needed to hear that from the Doctor before he could calm down. He was a little concerned about having a splint on his finger because it is his middle finger and he doesn't want to flip anyone off.

We got Nicole from Danny's and headed home. We made it home by 10:30. We were all so tired that there was no trouble getting anyone to go to bed.

I think we are going to find someone to give Dallen some Rip Stick lessons because you shouldn't be able to run over your own finger on a Rip Stick. Someone Else's yes, but not yours. Leave it to Dallen.

My first SVG

I know I am a Jill of all trades but a master of none. My new hobby has been making SVGs to cut things on my Cricut. I have the program SCAL that alows me to cut things without buying all the expensive cartridges that Cricut tries to sell. With the help of my friend Tylynn we converted a jpeg to this file that can be cut and used on a card or Scrapbook page. Here is a link to the file if you have SCAL.

Sorry, I can't figure out how to post a link to the file sharing so until then If you want it email me. (I guess that is what I will have to master next)

New Chapter in the Shumway home.

I thought this day would never come. I have been hoping for it. I have been planning for it. Last night no one wet the bed. This is huge. In April I had 3 kids in diapers at night. I knew one of them was just being lazy but I was not sure the other 2 were ready. I figured that I would let the older 2 just wet the bed and hopefully they would figure it out. They did. It took a little longer for Dallen. HE would wet the bed get up change his jammies and get in bed with Derek. It has been over a week sense Dallen wet the bed last.

Last Night Derek noticed that Dallen doesn't wear a diaper anymore and said he did not need one anymore. I figured at the worst I would have to get up and change his bed but he got up this morning and was dry. He was also very happy that he had done it. I have bought diapers for 15 of the last 17 years. I can't wait to see where I can spend that money now.
